More quotes by Damien Hirst

Image
The spot paintings, the spin paintings, they're all a mechanical way to avoid the actual guy in a room, myself, with a blank canvas.
Damien Hirst
Image
As soon as something becomes art I think you get over the fear
Damien Hirst
Image
You have to step over the boundaries sometimes just to find out where theyare.
Damien Hirst
Image
I just hope that I can be kind of like the Beatles. I really like that kind of model. I like the way that without losing integrity they could change through fashion and not look back at the '60s and vomit when they saw what they'd done.
Damien Hirst
Image
I think as an artist you have to reinvent yourself every day.
Damien Hirst
Image
I sometimes feel that I have nothing to say and I want to communicate this.
Damien Hirst
Image
I can't understand why most people believe in medicine and don't believe in art, without questioning either.
Damien Hirst
Image
I love art. It is uplifting.
Damien Hirst

It'd be nice to make lots of money but it's quite difficult, because every time I make lots of money I make a bigger piece that costs lots of money.
Damien Hirst

I don't really have a career plan.
Damien Hirst

I can’t wait to get into a position to make really bad art and get away with it.

Damien Hirst
Image
But whenever I look at the question of how to live, the answer's always staring me in the face. I'm already doing it.
Damien Hirst
Image
The best spot painting you can have by me is one painted by Rachel.
Damien Hirst
Image
I think I've always been afraid of painting, really. Right from the beginning. All my paintings are about painting without a painter. Like a kind of mechanical form of painting. Like finding some imaginary computer painter, or a robot who paints.
Damien Hirst
Image
Painting is so poetic, while sculpture is more logical and scientific and makes you worry about gravity.
Damien Hirst
Image
I always ignore money.
Damien Hirst
Image
I have always been aware that you have to get people listening before you can change their minds. Any artist's big fear is being ignored, so if you get debate, that's great.
Damien Hirst
Image
Buy art, build a museum, put your name on it, let people in for free. That's as close as you can get to immortality.
Damien Hirst
Image
I just do what everybody asks me to do, in terms of media and stuff.
